Preparation of proceedings (20')   lecc.workshop@cern.ch   
The workshop usually publishes the proceedings within one month of the conference. Oral and poster contributors are requested to deliver their written papers at the time of the workshop or, by arrangement, shortly after by uploading files to this agenda. Further information will be posted on the conference web site. Address questions to the secretary to the Workshop, Sandra Claude: lecc.workshop@cern.ch

Oral contributions (20')     
We hope that all talks will be available before the workshop so that they can be downloaded to the conference computer system for display. To upload their talk files to this agenda, please do the following:
(1) Using the "Modify" menu at the top of the page, enter the password.
(2) Point to the red arrow next to your talk, when you will see a list of options. Select "Attach files" and you will see a second menu, from which you should choose "file upload"
You should have local access to the file to be transfered.
(3) Click on the "browse" button, then on your file, and validate your choice. 

There is a help menu at the top of the page. Very large files (>20MB) may need to be delivered on a portable memory device, eg USB card. Please contact Sandra Claude (lecc.workshop@cern.ch) if there are problems.
